The Rev. Sherry Harris, the new senior pastor at Alabaster First United Methodist Church, had her first experience with an outdoor Ash Wednesday service this morning, and she liked it.

"I thought it was wonderful," Harris said. "I've done a lot of early morning Ash Wednesday services, but always indoors. It felt really good to be outside. Next year, fingerless gloves will be in order."
